+1, I think for those with even a little musical background, the brain fills in the details to a much greater extent, especially if it’s something you’ve heard before on a good signal chain / live. You know what’s there, so you know what to listen for, and your brain kinda just interpolates the rest.
This is not my idea btw, I read it somewhere, just forgot where I read it. Googling a bit around “musician audio quality ‘fill in the gaps’” didn’t ring any bells. I’ve been reading up on acoustics and audio engineering over the past year trying to get my personal music project together, so it may have just been from a book as well.
